TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL (TIF) is the world’s largest idol festival and is held every summer in Odaiba, Tokyo. It has become a summer tradition for idol fans around the globe.

In 2010, idols had made a huge comeback and the phrase “Idol Sengoku Jidai”, or “Idol Warring Period”, was coined.

This huge boom marked the begining of Japan’s first ever large-scale idol festival, “TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL 2010, which was held in Shinagawa, Tokyo.

From then, the festival was moved to Odaiba and this year will be hosting it’s 9th event. As the event grows ever closer to it’s 10th anniversary, TIF will continue to push the idol scene with exciting new projects and challenges.
